ABOUT PESTS
FLEA AND TICK
Fleas and ticks are major health threats, known for transmitting diseases like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and tapeworms.
Pest Details
Fleas can lay up to 50 eggs per day, and a single flea infestation can quickly spiral out of control. Studies show that more than 50% of flea infestations originate from outdoor spaces, making yard treatments just as crucial as indoor pest control.
Fleas enter homes by hitching a ride on pets, clothing, or infested furniture. They can also come in through wild animals like rodents or stray animals passing through your yard. Flea eggs and larvae can hide in carpets, bedding, and upholstery, leading to infestations even if adult fleas aren’t immediately visible.
Fleas can be highly disruptive, causing itchy bites, allergic reactions, and skin infections in both humans and pets. They can also spread diseases like typhus and tapeworms and make pets miserable with constant scratching, leading to fur loss and infections. Severe infestations can be difficult to eliminate, requiring thorough cleaning and treatment.
Fleas typically live 2–3 months, but their lifespan depends on conditions. Without a host, adults survive only a few days to weeks, but in ideal conditions, they can live longer. Flea eggs and larvae can remain dormant for months, making infestations hard to eliminate.
Treat pets with flea and tick meds, wash fabrics, vacuum frequently, and use sprays or diatomaceous earth. For outdoor control, trim grass and apply treatments. Severe cases may need professional help. Toro pest solution can help you get rid of fleas & ticks - for long-term solutions.
No, fleas and ticks do not have venom, but they inject saliva when they bite, which can cause itching, allergic reactions, and transmit diseases like Lyme disease (ticks) and typhus (fleas). Their bites can lead to infections if scratched excessively.
Yes, fleas and ticks can spread diseases. Fleas transmit illnesses like typhus, plague, and tapeworms, while ticks carry Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and anaplasmosis. Their bites can also cause allergic reactions and secondary infections from scratching.
